UE4 version - Bootable & still play with others

Hey Funcom -

if you ever have time, it would be nice if you would consider add back a launchable UE4 version
I can’t play - it is not your fault the game became very beautiful
but my potato cant deal with it
So if ever u have some time available in the future it would be nice with a pre-bootable version of UE4 - Cus I still wanna play

Abit like Blizzard did with Diablo 2 & D2 Resurrected

maybe there are others like me praise
Good day all

There is, in the steam game settings, just select the UE4 version to rollback.

On Steam - right click the name of the game in your library and select properties from the drop down menu (see first screenshot below). Then select Game Versions & Betas and select Legacy (see second screenshot). It will then download the old UE4 version and overwrite the Enhanced version that you have. (Note: you won’t be able to use official servers with the UE4 version, but you can still use private servers that run the Legacy version or play in singleplayer/coop.) If you want to have both versions available, you will need to rename the main file folder for one of them (probably the one you expect to use less often) and then you will be able to have both installed at once. (You’ll need to launch the renamed one by directly starting Conan.exe (or the Battleeye version if you need Battleeye).

Conay has a dual install feautre, you can have both versions.

I expect this will be possible here too, without renaming folders, in some time. I suspect both the launcher will be fixed, and mods will display correctly for each version of the game.

Sadly currently its not. Wish UE4 and UE5 versions were separate games on steam…

Thanks for all the respons & so quickly too!

It seems to appear I should’ve rewritten my OG post abit as many of the responses are tailored to a similar response
Which is fine but I did already know that it is possible to install UE4 version - but as its own “private server / Solo play”

What I originally ment with the post was that I wanted the UE4 & UE5 to be playable together - Just like in Diablo 2 resurrected

As many of my mates have instantly upgraded and game looks amazing - but I cannot play with them - I am stuck on a private server or solo play server
Which is sad & I hope they can do a work-around this at some point (:
Fingers crossed

Install UE4 version.

Make a copy of the folder.

Install UE5 version.

Create shortcuts to both ConanSandbox.exe files on your desktop and rename them accordingly.

I appreciate the tech tip :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Installing both versions was never the issue.

The issue is that UE4 players currently can’t join friends on official UE5 servers

Unfortunately, that is because the two different versions run on different engines. It would require servers to be running both engines simultaneously (and the servers are sh**ing the bed just trying to run one version…)

That is not supported and they clearly stated this will never be.

Different engines, different game logic.
